# Caption Editor

> Full-featured editor for reviewing and refining captions — keyboard-driven, with split mode, find & replace, and version history.

## Overview

The caption editor lets you review, correct, and refine captions for any language — source or translated. Every edit is non-destructive: changes save as a new version without overwriting the AI-generated original. The editor supports 50-level undo, split mode, find & replace, speaker management, and extensive keyboard shortcuts.

</Tip>

## Split mode

Split mode lets you divide a caption segment at any word boundary. This is useful when one segment contains two sentences, or when you need finer timing control.

1. Select a segment and press **S** to enter split mode
2. Use **← / →** to position the split cursor between words
3. Press **Enter** or **Space** to split at the cursor
4. Press **Esc** to cancel and exit split mode

## Find & Replace

Press **Ctrl/⌘ + F** to open Find & Replace. This searches across all segments in the current caption track — useful for correcting repeated errors like mistranscribed names.

## Version switching

Every save creates a new caption version. Use the version selector in the editor header to switch between versions — including the original AI-generated captions and any manual edits.

## Saving

Changes save automatically. Press **Ctrl/⌘ + S** to force an immediate save. The editor maintains a **50-level undo history** within each editing session.
